Significance of this kind of oscillation.

[M. next]

So if a rubber band is performing small-amplitude oscillations. Does this mean that it is performing quick oscillations or slow ones?

You cannot tell this from the amplitude. I guess the small amplitude is mentioned to ignore second-order (/nonlinear) effects.

I was saying that because I thought if it meant fast then the case would be adiabatic. But I guess, I am back to where I started. Thank you!

So does it depend on the mass of the hanging object?

 

[mfb]

You'll have to show your setup if you want to ask questions about it...

If you have a mass, suspended by a rubber band, the frequency can depend on the mass, but also on other factors.
